Has anyone else attempted university in their 30's+ (after years out of school)?

I was 37. Finished my MFA in 3 1/2 years while teaching full time and commuting 40 miles.

I went back to school and got my Finance degree at forty years old. It is never too late. Go for it. Life got in the way when I was younger and when I had the time to do it I did and I double majored with a Business degree also.

Yes, I got my Masters in Clinical Psychology when I was 37.

Yes it was good! at Liverpool Uni they had a scheme for older people who hadnt been to uni before and we were half mature students give or take and half youngsters. It worked really well in tutorial group s for instance the young ones were shy and mostly had got through A levels by regurgitating what they learned so learning to think for themselves was a big challenge and we were there supporting them by showing the way. I have 3 degrees but haven't used them in what seems like another lifetime ago.

At 31, a short learning curve then was as easy as hell, I got high distinctions, and I never finished high school, so had to wait until I could go in as an adult learner.

@EhMularz very first one was classed as an "Arts" degree, but it was in social alternatives. Different ways of organising societies, governments, economies and such. It included all the weird things I do now along the lines of sustainability.
